2000 Election Game: Campaign Thread

[Enderman]

after this turn, there's gonna be a debate.... you'll be suprised who it is,
hint: he's a Nebraskan born in Georgia, he also can't pronounce Kyrgystan correctly... oh, Spiral, should I also do the Dem debates too? I think I should, and many of you will be suprised with that one too...

[Enderman]

Out of curiosity, how's everyone in their respective states?

[Enderman]

I guess that means debates after this.... Hmm.... at least I have a few questions... Oh, Spiral, would it matter if I post the questions now?

If you've got them ready now, feel free to do it.

It'll take me about an hour but I can squeeze it....

OOC: Before I begin, I just wanted to say that if Mukulski wants to be relevant, she should immediately tune it off and apologize... Also I ask for the Democratic Candidates to go to Ames for the 28th because that's where the Dem Debate is going to be... Also, I am kinda sad that JerryAR had to drop out because I was interested on how a Kemp vs Clark map would look like... I also wonder if he could do an Independent run....

Announcer: Alright and we are getting word that- YES! We are going to go to Des Moines, Iowa for the first Republican Presidential Debates and we are transitioning you to them in 3....2....1....



Herman Cain (R-NE) Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first Republican Primary Debates.... Many of you outside of Nebraska, Georgia and from Godfather's Pizza where I was there in 1985 until 1996 and I was the CEO of the National Restaurant Association from 1996 to just until last year.... Now obviously I have been much more active in politics for the last year and the RNC has given me a chance to moderate. So in essence I am the new moderator for right now.... So, now it is time to announce the candidates....

*Kemp walks out*

Cain: Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp of New York....

*Quayle walks out*

Cain: Former Vice President Dan Quayle of Indiana....

*Mack walks out*

Cain: Incumbent Senator Connie Mack the Third of Florida....

*McCain walks out*

Cain: *chortles* Incumbent Senator John McCain the Third of Arizona....

*Powell walks out*

Cain: and last but not least General Colin Powell, Retired, of New York....

Quayle: Wow! Chairs! I didn't remember these during the VP debates!

Kemp: Yeah, me neither....

Cain: Sorry, I thought when the RNC said to have all the candidates have a "sit-down" I thought they meant it literally....

*all including some in the audience chuckles and laughs*

Cain: Anyways, remember the rules candidates, no interrupting, no vulgarity and *looks over at audience* no cheering or heckling from the audience... *looks back* And please remember that there are families at home watching, so please keep it- uh....not too attacking each other-ness.... Now that I got that out of the way, here is the questions....


Question OneVice President Quayle, you may remember this one from twelve years ago, so lets go over it again, but with more candidates... How qualified are all of you? Do you think that your qualifications and experience alone will get you nominated and/or elected? Also, how do you think that *looks over at Quayle* with your experience, that you can get the youth and the elder vote at the same time?

[Enderman]

Alrelifht thank you Mr Quayle and Mr Kemp... Now Mr Powell and Mr McCain and Mr  Mack?

[Enderman]

OOC: Im gonna let the two who havent finished have the weekend to reply.....but later today or tomorrow I'll go on to the next question.

[Enderman]

There are only two democrats in the race!? If only I had time...

Well technically there's three (Powell)....

[Enderman]

sorry about the lack of questions, my campaign has overwhelmed my mind... Expect a few questions over the week or so...

[Enderman]

So... Update?

[Enderman]

If this stretches to 2004, I'd likely join...

[Enderman]

Again, I'll gladly play as someone in 2008. IIRC we wanted to skip the primaries, but no one did anything, so it died.
